My sincere gratitude goes to Julia Watson. Without her insight and support,
it would have taken much longer for this book to take shape. I am indebted
to Patrick Riley and Yanfang Tang for their valuable suggestions. I also
thank Tani Barlow, Xiaomei Chen, Jinhua Dai, Perry Link, and Patricia
Sieber for their encouragement. Especially deserving of my acknowledgment
is Hao Yan, who showed endless patience in helping me find rare sources
needed for annotation. Special thanks also extend to the Research Council
of Colgate University, Case Library at Colgate University, Kroch Library
at Cornell University, Beijing University Library, Nanjing Library, and
Shanghai Library.
